PHOENIX — Manger Clint Hurdle figures many fans disagree with the Pirates’ four-man outfield setup at least as much as they hate his lineups.

“With the four-man outfield, it’s given everybody an appropriate break — maybe much to the chagrin (of folks) outside our vacuum,” Hurdle said on Monday.

The four-man system was mapped out when rookie Austin Meadows was called up on May 18, but didn’t fully go into effect until Starling Marte came off the disabled list eight days later. Over the past 15 games, Marte has made 13 starts, Meadows and Corey Dickerson have made 12 apiece, Gregory Polanco has made 10, and Sean Rodriguez has made one.

“I think it’s working to the benefit of them all and we’ll get more benefits from it as we continue to do it,” Hurdle said. “To try to grab it after a week [actually, almost three weeks] and put a bow on it … I’m not so sure.”
